What should I wear to go horseback riding? Jeans and a tank top or t-shirt is best. Boots or tennis shoes are the best footwear. Sunscreen and a hat or sunglasses is a good idea, too. 

Can I ride if I've never ridden a horse before? Yes! We may have you go in the round pen or arena for a few minutes so you can get a feel for your horse and so that we can teach you a few simple instruction to communicate with your horse.

Can we run with the horses? If you are experienced and feel comfortable with a trot or canter, you can in certain areas of the trail. If you do not feel comfortable going faster and just prefer to relax, that's perfectly fine, too.
